not trying to bash on anyone but why does everyone always think Hendrix is so great? Hes music was really nothing special. he just had a lot of gimics and was in the right time. I can think of a lot of better guitarists in that time. Clapton was with Cream at the time, and i think he was a lot better and wrote much better music. people say that Hendrix was a visionary in his music. That he was the first person to do a lot of things, and his music was so different for the time. But if i drop acid everytime i picked up my guitar i could come up with some weird and different stuff to. Its a true guitarist that can come up with different sounds and structure and not be messed up all the time.

Just my thoughts, but i really think his music was sloppy and gimicy.

Hendrix is a bit overrated, you're right about that, but he was probably the most influential and innovative guitarist of his time, yes there were plenty of them back then, but Hendrix hit it big. Just like anyone in the music industry, if you hit it big and you've got talent, your name is known and will be famous or infamous...And about the droppin' acid to come up with some nice weird stuff, you're right, just look at Tony Iommi, he's another GREAT guitarist.
